For some teenagers No is the only words parents here out of their mouth. Saying no is also a default word to most human beings. When given the opportunity for growth or for challenges or just new experiences most people simple say NO.
Although this word can be very disempowering at time, saying No under certain situation however can be the most empowering word you can use.
If you learn to say No to the right things it can empower you in the direction of the things you say YES to. For example, take any one of your goals, hopefully you have one, and think about what you don't want. For example, let's say you want to make $8,000 a month with your internet business, now ask yourself this question. What is it that you don't want? What do you refuse to allow to happen? In other words, what is now something that you are saying NO to. It could be that you are now saying no to mediocrity or you are no saying making too little money.
But here is the trick to turn the word "No" into an empowering statement and not one that will attract exactly what you don't want like in the secret. You must intend to draw a line in the sand. In other words, you no longer except the current result in your life and you say "No More Failing" "No More Pain" "No More Poverty" with the intention of looking "it" dead on and drawing the line in your life that says "I refuse to allow things to continue this way." Here is the next trick. Be grateful to what you don't want as well. What you don't want has also helped you grow as a person and has pointed you in the direction of where you should be.
Saying No can be the most empowering word you can use if you do it right. It is all about intention.
